A St Vincent de Paul Shop in Laois is trying to find a donor who may have unwittingly donated some valuable items.
Stradbally’s St Vincent de Paul shop put out an appeal on social media looking for help to identify the owner.
“Hi everyone. Some time ago, a jewellery box was donated to the SVP Stradbally shop. When we opened it, we found two valuable pieces of jewellery inside. We don’t think the person meant to donate them,” they stated in an online post.
“We believe the donor is from Athy, and we have the surname Quinn, but we don’t want to share the full name online. We just want to return the jewellery to the right person.
Staff at the store believe the items may not have come from Laois and could have come from neighbouring Kildare.
"If you are the donor, or if you know someone from Athy with the surname Quinn who may have donated this jewellery box a while back, please contact us on 085 8705635,” the Stradbally store added.
